Pics of Batwings w/ bar mounted mirrors?

Here's a page that demonstrates the rise (2") over the stock bars and pullback as compared to the stock ones: https://www.kustombaggers.com/products/?id=183
I have the Ergo "Back" model. List is $200 but I paid $150 from forum sponsor Cateye Customs. (Thx Sara!)
Key for me was that I didn't need any cable or wire replacements or extensions.
They give your wrist a more natural postion and have the ability to be rotated forward or back thru quite a range of motion to help you find your sweet spot.

If this was directed at me, thank you. I'm very happy with the total package.
Did 149 miles the other day with the new bars and I like the feel but it will take just a little getting used to after 3yrs and 30k miles with the stock bars.

I have received numerous compliments on my bars (thank you) and questions as to what they were and where to get them. I was aked to post this information here so here it is. I just called my indy shop where I purchased them so I could get the part number to pass along. I said originally that they were from Drag Specialties, but that was incorrect. They are out of the Biker Choice catalog
492006 SOFTAIL HERITAGE HANDLEBAR 49.95 CONTROL Khrome Werks
492006 being the part number and 49.95 being the price. As a note....If you look at the relationship between either one of my hand grips and the top of my fairing dash (dash is level when the bike is upright) you will notice that the end of the grip is slightly higher than the control side of the grip. This does not bother me and I find it comfortable, BUT many on here that have tried these bars have not liked the wrist position, some have, some haven't. Just want that to be out in the open air. These are the same bar as the Harley Heritage take-off. I could not find any at the time and I thought the price was right. I believe the Road King police bikes also came with these bars. I am not sure is they will fit stock harley batwing fairings due to the distance between the uprights.

I know this is an older topic but would like to renew it. I got the apes installed a few weeks ago and can't see sh*t out of the fairing mounted mirrors, need to go to bar mounted but need some that don't look too bad. OP said no HD mirrors, I don't care cause I am actually looking at some that I didn't think looked too bad. May see if they will let me "try" some on tomorrow.
Thanks!
Thanks!
